Senators Ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Ekwunife were yesterday formally presented to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra as members of the party.
Senator Ubah had weeks back announced his defection from Young Progressives Party (YPP) to APC.
The state Chairman of APC, Chief Basil EJidike, who formally received the two senators hailed the leadership qualities of President Bola Tinubu, while requesting more commitment from the members of the party
Ejidike who spoke about the prospect of APC taking Anambra State in 2025 through the new entrants said: “We can achieve this great feat if we want, because the manpower and resources are readily available.
“Year 2025 affords us yet another opportunity to contest and win Anambra State Government House. Let us as one family work towards achieving this goal for our party.
“I enjoin you the new members not to fail to sustain their dogged and positive humanitarian spirits, which is their Hallmark. We urge you to double this inherent spirit in your service to the party.
“The APC will definitely provide you the platform to do more in this regard. I pledge our unalloyed support and cooperation in all our dealings with all of you. Please, rest assured that the party is large enough to accommodate everyone’s political aspirations.”
Senator Ubah, one of the new entrants in his speech said the wait for APC to take Anambra had ended.
He said: “APC would no longer keep quiet in Anambra, pretending that all was well when things are going wrong. APC has finally arrived in Anambra State.”
